CELUS is a deep-tech software company based in Munich, Germany, changing electronics design by automating and optimizing the development process. The CELUS Design Platform uses advanced AI and a vast component database to transform functional requirements into detailed electronics designs, including schematics and bills of materials, all in record time.
At the core of the platform are CUBOs—Digital Datasheets that replace static PDF datasheets and application notes. These provide engineers with structured, ready-to-use information that integrates seamlessly into the design process, enabling faster and more efficient decision-making. By automating repetitive tasks and offering tailored recommendations, the CELUS Design Platform drastically reduces time-to-market while improving design accuracy.
Beyond efficiency, CELUS connects the entire electronics ecosystem. By building a collaborative network of component manufacturers, distributors, EDA suppliers, and customers, the platform enables innovation through better accessibility and integration of components.
CELUS empowers engineering teams by eliminating routine tasks, enabling them to focus on creativity and innovation. With CELUS, electronics design becomes a streamlined and flexible process, delivering optimized solutions to meet evolving industry challenges.
